Greetings, fellow cultivators! Today, I'm thrilled to share the grand finale of our journey with the remarkable Big Cheese Auto from Seeds Mafia. At day 81 from seed, she reached the pinnacle of her splendor, and the harvest was nothing short of spectacular.
As I gently snipped each ripe bud, I couldn't help but marvel at the beauty and resilience of our Big Cheese Auto. From the moment she emerged as a seedling, she embodied strength, vigor, and an unwavering determination to flourish. Now, as she hangs upside down to dry for the next two weeks, I'm filled with a profound sense of gratitude for the privilege of witnessing her growth.
Our journey with the Big Cheese Auto has been nothing short of extraordinary. From the excitement of germination to the meticulous care during vegetative growth, from the anticipation of flowering to the aromatic crescendo of the harvest, each phase has been a testament to the plant's resilience and the joy of cultivation.
The journey began with a tiny seed, a promise of potential waiting to be fulfilled. With the nurturing support of the Autopot system and the guidance of Aptus Holland's nutrients, our Big Cheese Auto thrived, transforming into a botanical marvel with each passing week. From the emergence of her first true leaves to the explosion of trichome-rich buds, she captivated us at every turn.
A heartfelt thank you to Seeds Mafia for providing the genetics that sparked this incredible journey. Your seeds have not only produced exceptional plants but have also inspired a community of passionate cultivators. Your dedication to quality and innovation is truly commendable, and I am grateful for the opportunity to cultivate such remarkable genetics.
Before the trimming and curing process begins, I took the time to capture the beauty of our Big Cheese Auto in a special photo shoot. Each snapshot is a testament to her magnificence, a visual ode to the journey we've shared together.
To the entire community, both near and far, thank you for accompanying me on this horticultural odyssey. Your support, encouragement, and shared passion for cultivation have made this journey all the more rewarding. Let's continue to cultivate greatness together!
Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey! Wishing you all abundant harvests and joyful cultivation endeavors ahead!

Flowering week 2 begins for Super Lemon Haze. She grew about two inches in height, a little bit of stretching and her foliage filled in nicely from last week's defoliation. Hopefully this week we will see some more stretch and bud sites developing.
Thanks for checking out my grow 👽🌳

She was a very nice plant to grow , didn't have too much difficulties with her... She grew on some very nice thick form buds. And she didn't grew too tall which I personally really like.

Wee has gone by nice and smooth. Girls have all doubled in height save for #4 who I'm thinking is gonna be a midget haha. Watering them enough to keep the soil moist I'd say about 200-250ml each watering (every two days) with just enough to moisten top soil on the off days. Removed the lowest two branches off #1-3 to get them further from soil and they didn't even skip a beat. Probably top them early upcoming week.
Had to put them in my 4x4 with the two Auto's for day 27(today)/28(tomorrow) because we are experiencing a crazy winter storm and power is on/off. My 4x4 has a large battery backup that also regulates power spikes and supplements the lows so not nearly as hard on the light/equipment. Runs long enough for me to get generator up and running. Unplugged the 3x3 setup until this passes, save the gear. Means temps will be 24°C and 52%RH. Low end for veg but high end for flower, gotta compromise but they're healthy I have faith they will pull through. 💪.
Also repotted #4 to a 2 gallon early week. She looked ready, and though cup wasn't full roots were healthy and substantial. No sign or shock good ol' dynomyco
Hope everyone has a good week and a merry Christmas!

Day 58, 7th of November 2020:
The 6th day since the lamp switched to be 12/12.
I raised up the nutrition intake as it can be seen above only the BioBizz family 2ml/l and removed some LST because the plants remain in shape or just set a bit but nothing significant....
They look good and strech is on the way.....
These Original Sensible ones are having really nice smell :)
Nothing really to report there is crazy 2-3 weeks from now ;)

Things looking almost perfect other than INSECTS!!!!!😱 girls have been sprayed top to toe. I’ll continue to observe. But yes other than that great. The gelato are very big plants going outwards and upwards, all possible flowering spots seem to be taking and slowly covering in pistils😍😍😍 Fliwering has commenced ✌️🏻😬✌️🏻
The plants really bulking out now looking good and strong. And really are covered in flowers. They will get a new flowering light and a little more space to grow tomorrow 😍😍😍😍 hopefully great tings will follow. I’ll be using New Millennium Decision on the girls for a few days in the next couple of days, they really are as tall as they should go.🤔
New light in and tings looking good. After a couple of days under the new light the plants seem more than happy. It’s quite a slim line light too so I’m afforded a little extra room up top in case da girls decide to stretch anymore. Things seem to be settling down now and pistils are multiplying quicker by the day. Got a pleasant smell coming from the stems and leaves, very soft and non aggressive possibly a softer take on GSC coming through, but my nose although huge isn’t that good at picking up subtleties in the aromas it grabs a hold of. The girls really are looking strong and vibrant and seem to be wearing their new found flowers well.

I'm now on vacation for 2 weeks so all photos will be from my security camera. From what I can tell my new clones are greening up and putting out some new growth. My blumats had a runaway on day 3... luckily my neighbor was around and was able to slow the drip rate down on my one plant which was starting to flood my box. It has now stopped dripping and my hope is there will be no more hiccups..I will be watching closely over my vacation. 😅🙏

Week 11 has been exactly the same as week 10. There has been some light yellowing one Girl #1 and some of the hairs are starting to turn orange. The colas aren’t very dense. Girl#1 has been doing some weird fox tailing on all the colas.My temperatures haven’t been over 77 and my humidity hasn’t been over 55. I have seen this before in other diaries with other stains. Guess that’s just comes with the territory of ruderalis crossed strains. Can’t really complain cause this is my first rodeo with Autos so I’m just happy to have this experience.
I officially think the delayed Pineapple Express auto might not even have the autoflower trait. It’s been 11 weeks and she hasn’t showed the slightest chance of ever flowering. This is really frustrating and deflating. I’m gonna definitely have to put this girl into 12-12. That will have to be after girl #1 is finished.
I’m very appreciative of all who show your continued support and give insightful infomation. Can’t wait to see what this harvest will be. This is my first official auto grow. I wouldn’t change it at all. Thank you all for your support and time. More to come soon 💚👊

It's been a busy week.
The Red Dragon is growing really well, and they seem to be shooting up really quick. There's no stretch on them so I know they're getting enough light.
So far the Red Dragon is definitely one of my favorite strains but I've got a lot more to get through yet lol.
I have got some acoustic ducting.
WARNING...
Acoustic ducting has Fibre glass in it and is a MAJOR IRRITATENT to both skin and eyes and should be done in a well ventilated area with suitable protection.
So, I have also switched from pure batmix to a 50/50 split with a good compost.
I have done this as I'm not 100% happy with the level of water retention in the batmix, I'm finding it to be too much and I do not want to run into any issues.
I would rather the soil drys out then I know exactly when to water.
I have also increased the HPS to 400w (from 250w) it is very difficult to give plants too much light.
I am spraying the tent whenever I can, with warm(ish) water to increase the humidity for a short while.
I will be looking into fiming and LST probably next week to make sure they have a good base.
I have also had to transplant the plants into another pot as the roots are growing like crazy at the moment.
I also purchased a dimmer plug for the fan, as I don't need it to be on full all the time (it's a 6 inch fan with duel speed but thats far too much for what is needed now.
Other than that all is good

--FRIDAY I mixed up a 1/3 strength batch of nutes plus a little bud candy to start up their high-carb diet and douched the bigger bitches pretty well. I gave a splash to the little girls too.
I also mixed up a 1/3 strength batch of grow big and started foliar feeding everybody but the seedling.. I alternate foliar feeding with spring water misting a few times a day in total.
--SATURDAY was a dry day. Only foliar feeding, and spring water for the seedling. all the girls loved their Friday dose...little gals notably bigger as seen in the photos. Tomorrow I increase to half strength nutes for the big girls and maybe the smaller ones if they look ready and continue my misting regimen. Tracking my package from Crop King..can't wait to get 3 more WW wet and max out my space!
--SUNDAY the girls got some PH'd water and a couple of foliar feedings and a spring water misting.
--MONDAY I received a package from Crop King Seeds! However, it wasn't my replacement White Widow AFs, but rather the Candy Cane AFs.that I ordered the same day...doh! Being the impatient fucker that I am, I put 3 CC's into a glass of spring water rather than wait on the WW's to arrive. The other plants already have such a head start that I didn't want to wait another minute to get the rest of the crop started. So, I've only got 2 WW's this go-round....c'est la vie. With any luck all three CC's will germinate and grow to specimen plants.
I also mixed up a 1-gallon batch of 1/2 strength nutes and fed everybody...even the mystery seedling. DId a nutrient misting and lowered my lights about 2 inches and added a 100w (equiv) cool white CFL and 120w cool white LED to the mix. They and the 3 x 50w blue/white Par38s remain on when the primary light and ventilation fans turn off for a couple hours of CO2 "bathing" PPM's get up to about 1200 by the end of the 2 hours. and temps climb to about 87 before the ventilation and primary light kicks back on. I might increase the "night phase" to 3 hours once there's a lot more vegetation in the tent so as to really dose them with C02.
The mystery seedling overstretched immediately and has not been impressive at all....we'll see...It's getting super-dosed with blues and whites, so maybe...
TUESDAY: dry day....foliar feedings only. Dropped the 3 CC's into wet paper towel...fingers crossed.
WEDNESDAY (July 4th): All 3 CC's popped! 2 had 3/4" tap roots, so they got planted. The other will get planted in the morning.
Having learned my lesson from the WW's that didn't make it to the light of day, I created a mix of 60% vermiculite + 30% perlite and 10% happy frog and created "pockets" for my new seedlings in the center of 5 g pots.
I mixed up a 1-gallon batch of 1/2 strength nutes and fed everybody.
Mystery seedling is still pathetic..
